Lagos State University Calls Off Strike

The Senate of the Lagos state university has announced the resumption of academic and social activities from Wednesday August 13th 2025, following the suspension of the joint action committee industrial action.

JAC agreed to call off its strike on Tuesday August 12th 2025 and to resume work Wednesday this followed a productive meeting with the Lagos state deputy governor Obafemi Hamzat held 7th of August.

In a statement issued by the deputy registrar and coordinator of the centre for information and public relations Oluwayemisi Onashile said it has been resolved that all students should return to campus immediately and the 2024/2025 second semester examination will commence on Monday 18th 2025.

The statement outlined the resolutions:

1. Academic and social activities will resume on Wednesday, August 13, 2025.
2. Students may move into hostels on LASU’s Ojo, Ikeja, and Epe campuses from the same date.
3. The 2024/2025 Second Semester Examinations will commence on Monday, August 18, 2025.

“Students are advised to return promptly and prepare adequately for the examinations,” the statement added.
